Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 13 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,939 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

list-specs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

List Specs

List all specs in the .agent/specs/ directory, organized by workflow folder and optionally filtered by status field. Uses index.json for fast lookups of timestamp ID specs.

Variables

  • $folder: $1 (optional) - Filter by folder: "backlog", "todo", "done", or "all" (defaults to "all")
  • $status: $2 (optional) - Filter by status field: "draft", "ready", "in-progress", "review", "completed", or "any" (defaults to "any")
  • --search: (optional) - Search keyword to fuzzy match in spec names/paths
  • --sort: (optional) - Sort field: "created", "updated", "id", "complexity", "phases", or "tasks" (defaults to "created")

Instructions

  • Read index.json for fast lookup of timestamp ID specs
  • Parse spec files to extract metadata (Status field) only when status filtering is needed
  • Filter by folder if specified
  • Filter by status if specified
  • Search by keyword if specified (fuzzy match in spec names)
  • Sort results by specified field
  • Group specs in same folder for multi-spec folders
  • Display results organized by folder with spec ID, feature name, created/updated dates, and status

Workflow

  1. Load Specs from Index

    • Read .agent/specs/index.json
    • For each spec in index, extract:
      • Spec ID (key in specs object)
      • Path (contains both location and folder name)
      • Status (cached from spec.md)
      • Created datetime
      • Updated datetime
      • Location: Derive from path by splitting on '/' (e.g., "todo/1-log-streaming" → location="todo", folder="1-log-streaming")
  2. Apply Filters

    • Folder filter:

      • If $folder is "backlog": Only show specs where location (from path) is "backlog"
      • If $folder is "todo": Only show specs where location is "todo"
      • If $folder is "done": Only show specs where location is "done"
      • If $folder is "all" or not provided: Show all specs
    • Status filter:

      • If $status is specified and not "any":
        • Use cached status from index.json
        • Only include specs matching that status
      • If $status is "any" or not provided: Show all specs
      • If a spec has no status field in index, treat it as status "unknown"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

list-specs is a command published in the GitHub repository jnarowski/agentcmd (18 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 2,939 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
